preserveorderoption added to decoder, using a custom ordered table implementation similar to http://lua-users.org/wiki/OrderedTable (Last edited June 23, 2015 8:15 am GMT). This implementation relies on__pairsmetamethod. Encoder is modified to patch oldpairsfunction.While I think using
__pairsmetamethod is the cleanest way, I'm not yet decided. As suggested on #4, saving the order with integer indices is also possible.obj[0]could be-1for distinction to arrays. It is somewhat consistent witharraylenoption, which usesarray[0]instead of__lenmetamethod.
